1846 Led Huo Yao Over
Huo Yao turned to leave the room and opened the door to the next room.
The room was entirely identical to the first room she had entered as though they were copied and pasted. The only difference was the names on the doors.
They were named according to the four images and eight trigrams in the ‘Book of Changes’.
When Huo Yao learned about ancient-style mechanisms from her master, she also learned about the occult.
Since she was not interested in the subject, she was not a master of it. She only knew the basic four images and eight trigrams.
!!
The identical rooms here… If she was not mistaken, they were placed in accordance with the laws of occult. From the moment she entered the second floor, she was already inside the formation and incapable of leaving.
If she wanted to crack the code, she had to calculate where the heart of the formation was located.
Huo Yao pressed her brow and walked out of the room again expressionlessly.
Sure enough, she should not have been lazy.
She might have problems leaving the place, let alone finding the heart of the formation.
Huo Yao inhaled deeply and continued trying to find a pattern. At this moment, she hastily raised her head looking at the corner at the end of the corridor.
A black silhouette could be seen moving.
She narrowed her eyes and ran after it almost without hesitation.
After turning the corner, she reached a long corridor. It looked no different to the area she had already walked through. Also, the corridor was empty and no silhouette could be seen.
Huo Yao frowned hard. She did not relax the slightest as she walked through the corridor unhurriedly.
It felt as though someone had pressed the slow-motion button and even the atmosphere felt strange and intense.
Huo Yao raised her hand and pushed open the door with ‘leave’ engraved on it.
In an instant, she entered another space. Mechanism controls could be seen everywhere. It looked completely different from the other rooms she had entered.
Huo Yao looked at the mechanisms that were not in operation. This place was clearly the heart of the formation.
Also…
Seeing this, Huo Yao did not feel happy about finding the heart of the formation. Instead, she frowned.
She knew something had led her here.
Was it a man?
Or was it something that could not be explained by science?
Unfortunately, now was not the time to worry about this. Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and suppressed her suspicions. Then, she walked up in front of the stone platform.
The stone platform was large. Eight randomly placed round stones were on it. A word was engraved on each stone to match the eight characters in the eight trigrams.
Huo Yao looked at the eight stones and could not help feeling surprised. After gathering her thoughts, she slowly extended her hand to take the stones and arranged them according to the eight trigrams as her master had taught.
When the last stone was in place, a secret compartment popped out. At the same time, the rumbling sound of mechanisms getting activated could be heard.
Huo Yao did not look at the secret compartment right away. Instead, she raised her head.
The previously still gear mechanisms had started moving one after another at increasingly fast speed. She could clearly sense the vibration under her feet.
The archaeological team felt uneasy sensing this from downstairs.
“Huh? Did someone activate some mechanism?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“Me neither.”
After roughly half a minute, the sound of mechanisms activating failed to diminish, but the rumble gradually quietened down. Everyone felt a little less worried.
“Huh? Where’s the chair… I mean Cheng?” asked a professor suddenly.
